“hot”
Just like in George Orwell's book animal farm.
All jokes are equal but some are more equal
I thought we are so familiar that we can actually reference parts of 1984.
You questioned Trump? Off to Room 101 for you.
Graham loves Trump the way Winston loves Big Brother
Well, crap, another brown person committed a violent crime. It gives FOX fuel for another two minutes of hate.
You think people who make these jokes actually read the book? Literally 1984
In the aughts, there were a lot of signs that the US was moving towards a fascist police state, and when I called it out conservatives would point to Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies, and so I started doing what I called applied Godwinism which was to compare specific events and behaviors of the modern day to specific events that closely matched in the German Reich.
A more recent example came during the Trump administration, even though ICE was ordered only to investigate and detain immigrants who were also violent felons (the illegal in illegal alien is only a misdemeanor) but ICE disobeyed and detained anyone they could find, which overran the detention centers which in turn had supply crises and were overrun with infectious disease. Compare the Sicherheitsdienst under Reinhard Heydrich who was ordered to only go after Jews who were violent felons.
The good news is that enough of the Nineteen-Eighty-Four tropes have entered common parlance, so when the TOS of a smart TV tells us Refrain from having private conversations in front of the television and someone juxtaposes it with text about Telescreens, most people get it.
This burns me up
Literally 1985
This is fine.
gotta check to see if the oven is done preheating yet
How dare you post my door code in a meme!
